Yungblud revealed his massive leg cast and crutches on Instagram on Sunday after ‘breaking his leg in a horror motorcycle accident’.
The British musician, 29, was reportedly involved in a motorcycle accident at the Sturgis Bike Rally in Michigan earlier this month, reports The sun.
Instead of seeking emergency treatment after the crash, Yungblud, whose real name is Dominic Harrison, performed his 10-song set in ‘agony’ before heading to hospital.
And it appears the broken leg won’t stop the rocker from continuing his performances this summer as he insisted he would be back on stage in Portugal on Monday before headlining Belgium’s Pukkelpop festival on Friday.
He wrote: ‘Legs fucking, still giggling Still standing (sort of). Portugal and Belgium – I’m coming and it’s going to be fucking crazy.
In the Instagram photo, Yungblud wore a large bandage from the top of his thigh to his foot and posed with a pair of crutches.
The Daily Mail has contacted Yungblud’s representatives for comment.

It comes after Yungblud pulled out of the Cowboys Music Festival in Calgary, Canada, just days after breaking down on stage.
The rocker, who was due to perform on Sunday, July 12, announced that he has canceled his set to prioritize his well-being.
Yungblud said in a statement: “To all my family in Canada, I apologize for not being able to be there with you this weekend – I am currently in a place where I am working on myself and taking time off at home in Britain.
‘I am taking this very seriously and facing what is going on for the long term good. I will never take this for granted and I will see you all again soon. I love you all.”
Yungblud broke down on stage during his recent performance at Bludfest in the Czech Republic, stopping the show to tell fans he was struggling with overwhelming feelings of disconnection and pain.
The star admitted that seeing his fans’ faces is one of the few things that makes him feel “safe” from the outside world.
He told the audience at Park 360 last month: “Lately I feel so alienated from everything. I do my best to wake up every day. I’ve been in a lot of pain and I haven’t known why for a long time.’
He continued, “Every time I find your faces, every time I find your eyes, every time I look at you, I know I belong somewhere. And feeling safe from the outside world is something I can never thank you enough for.’
Yungblud then promised fans that he would stand by them through their own difficult moments.
He said, “All I want to say is this is for your family. If you’re ever scared, if you’re ever afraid, if you’re ever threatened, we will be there. I’ll be there for you.’
After the show, he shared his mid-concert breakdown on Instagram, along with a lengthy caption explaining why he chose to post this moment.
But after the crash, instead of seeking emergency treatment, Yungblud, whose real name is Dominic Harrison, played his 10-song set at ‘agony’ before going to hospital.
And it seems the broken leg won’t stop the rocker from continuing his performances this summer as he insisted he would be back on stage in Portugal and Belgium this week.
He said, ‘Warning. Truth comes in. Read the full caption. Honestly I’ve been thinking about whether or not I should post this clip because I don’t want it to feel unfair, like I’m doing it for a reason like clicking or a personal game, but in the end this is what happened and it’s real so I thought f*** it.
‘To be honest. I’ve been having a really hard time lately and this moment is a byproduct of my body releasing the wave of emotions that have hit me over the past year and that I haven’t been able to process. I’m not going to lie to you when I got off this stage. I felt elated, but twenty minutes later, standing alone in the shower, I had a breakdown.
‘Being an artist these days is so strange because everything happens so fast. You never stay stuck in what’s happening for more than a few hours, leaving you unable to navigate or process anything, feeling both good and bad.
‘Over the last ten years I’ve been on a million different journeys, trying a million different sounds to figure out who I am or what I can do for the world every day, while the world screams back.
“The amount of hate and disbelief around me from strangers on the internet or bitter musicians really weighs on my heart because all I’ve tried to do for the past decade is spread love, build something I believe in, and unite people in a safe space.
“I really shouldn’t say anything about this because it would make me look cooler and like it doesn’t affect me, but deep down, but I don’t think that’s who I am or why we’re all connected.”
